Ingredients
- 1 cup cilantro about 1 bunch
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup spinach optional but recommended
- 2 tsp lemon juice about 1/2 a lemon
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp olive oil optional
Instructions
- Juice the lemon until you have 2 tsp (about half a lemon). Add to food processor.
- Add remaining ingredients. When adding garlic, mincing it first is helpful to avoid little chunks of garlic, but optional.
- Process and adjust salt as needed.
Notes
Spinach is optional but adds lots of nutrition without changing the flavor, plus it adds some nice green color.
